September 17, 2026

Working at Buoyant isn’t always smiles, or is it? Buoyant Tech Evangelists Sarah and Flynn will be fighting an unruly demo that shows health with emojis. By leveraging the powers of gRPC load balancing, retries, timeouts, and routing - these two will turn those frowns upside down! As you watch this Service Mesh Academy unravel you’ll learn how to optimize communication within your cluster by avoiding gRPC requests being pinned to one pod, optimizing your requests routing, and defining failover and resiliency within your clusters.
